A Different Kind of Studio
Max’s Pottery is intentionally small-scale.
The focus is on thoughtful making, relaxed creativity, and genuine studio atmosphere — not cramming in as many people as possible.
Whether you’re completely new to clay or developing a long-term ceramics practice, the aim is to create a space that feels calm, inspiring, and creatively alive.
Pieces made to last
🌿 A compact, sculptural bottle-vase finished in my signature Emerald Flame glaze — a glossy emerald green layered over hand-painted red iron oxide brushwork. As the glaze melts, the iron blooms gently through the surface, creating tiny flame-like freckles and warm undertones that glow in the light. It’s the same glaze family as my Verdant Flame oil burner, with the same organic, atmospheric character.
Perfect as a standalone accent, or for a few dried stems, grasses or a single striking bloom.

🌿 A refined wheel-thrown porcelain bud vase with a slender neck, softly rounded body, and gently flared rim, finished in a glossy honey glaze with subtle tonal movement and fine crackle detail.
The porcelain body gives this piece a lighter, more delicate presence than stoneware, while the warm translucent glaze adds depth and softness in changing light. Elegant enough to stand alone, but equally suited to a few stems or dried grasses.
Hand thrown in High Wycombe, UK.

Pair it with one of my other handmade bud vases for a beautiful set — see them all here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MLPotteryByMax?section_id=55156536
